Projects
BÄRENstark!
The project BÄRENstark! investigated the cognitive causes of learning difficulties in basic scholastic competencies such as reading, spelling, and calculating.
BiLTex
The IDeA project BiLTex investigates potential differences between bilingual and monolingual learning environments for text comprehension. Whereas in monolingual learning environments all information and actions are available or take place in German, in bilingual learning environments the mother tongue is systematically included. BilTex aims to investigate whether the inclusion of the language of origin has a positive effect on text comprehension and the learning experience of pupils growing up bilingually.
BiPeer
BiPeer explores ways to support German reading competency of Turkish-German bilingual primary school children using peer-learning methods.
BiPra-Text
The project compares monolingual and bilingual learning environments for multilingual pupils in fourth and fifth grade in German-English bilingual schools.
cammino
The project cammino examines the verbal skills of multilingual children and their speech development.
Campusschulen Frankfurt und Umgebung
How can educational researchers, school practitioners and (initial) teacher training in Frankfurt and the surrounding area collaborate and benefit from each other with a long-term perspective? In the Campus Schools Programme, we are establishing strong and sustainable collaborations at the interface between theory and practice and develop them further together.
CaS
„Cool and Safe“ is a web-based program for the prevention of child sexual abuse. At Goethe University Frankfurt, its efficacy and acceptance by elementary school children was assessed.
CatMo – Arena
Category learning tasks are experimental paradigms used to study how humans acquire and apply categorical knowledge. Participants learn to classify multi-feature stimuli into categories without being explicitly told the underlying rules. Performance in these tasks provides insight into processes of generalization, abstraction, and memory.
CHAT2TRANSITION
The project examines the emergence and consequences of educational decisions at the transition from primary to secondary school. It focuses on improving the information available to families and teachers. A multilingual chat assistant for families and a reflection program for teachers aim to reduce social and migration-related inequalities in educational outcomes.
Children’s Worlds
An international study of material, social, and cultural conditions of a good life and opportunities of education and participation from children’s and youth’s point of view.
